Yes, but not at the location of the fracture, if it is a simple or hairline fracture, or the area of the body beyond (distal) to the fracture. If it is a compound fracture, which involves damage to surrounding soft tissue, then it is best to go see a doctor. Since this may be severe, you may choose to go to the emergency room (ER).
